Aerobic Base Training Week 4

Weight: 75.8 BMI 14.5% RHR 142
Just completed six days of the Maffetone two week test (two weeks of not eating any carbs). Decided to back off and allow myself to eat a little rice and such because it was having a negative affect on my mood. Am still working on not eating wheat at all to see if it helps my skin at all, and trying to cut back on the carbs in general. But am a bit sick of meat at this point, so trying to limit it to once a day.

Sun: 34:51/141/BF/3/Confidence up. Love this run around the loop in Shiori. Legs were a bit stiff to start off with, but felt better after a while, and had fun trying to regulate my HR while going up and down the hill. BF felt great, too.
Mon: Bike 33k, didn't track HR.
Tue: 52:33/141/BF/3/Confidence up. Got my new Luna Huaraches, so wore them to work with the intention of running home in them. The lace in front was a bit harsh between my toes, so I decided to just wear them for my warm up, and then went BF from there. This was my first time doing the run home from work BF, and was a little worried about doing it in the dark and on a lot of different surfaces, but it went great! It was also really interesting that while my pace slowed down on some of the rougher surfaces, I still maintained my HR, partly because I was worried about stepping on stuff and because I was quickening my pace with shorter stride.
Wed: 59:26/141/Ultra/1/Confidence down. Bit of a tough run home along the Arakawa, and had issues both with the shoes and my GI tract. My feet don't like the ultras so much when it is humid and they are sweaty, so I'll need to try with socks next time. My gut is really screwed from what I've been doing with my diet, and it all seemed to come out during my run home.
Thu: Bike 33k 37:28/140 Tracked HR during the ride to work and home.
Fri: 1:01/142/BF/2/Confidence up. Ran a bit further in my huaraches for this and they felt pretty good, but then took them off and did most of the run BF. Was good, but I was pushing myself a bit too much so my HR kept going over the limit, which also resulted in me getting a couple slightly sore spots on my right foot. I like tracking HR, because it really is a good indicator of when I'm going too hard, even though I don't alway listen...
Sat: Rest. Decided I just needed a day to chill with the family and it felt good.

Total time: 4:05:18. Decided to include my bike time when I am tracking aerobic training.
